Series: Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Advanced Skills

This comprehensive book covers the care of victims of sexual and
domestic violence. Containing much practical advice - including
writing legal reports and court skills, and issues of consent and
capacity the content highlights throughout the need to provide
good-quality care to victims, not just for successful prosecutions
but, more importantly, for the sake of the victim's mental and
physical health. There are chapters on important topics such as
child sex exploitation, female genital mutilation, male victims,
training, and psychological issues. The content covers the syllabi
for DFCASA, MFFLM(SOM) Part 2, and the RCOG ATSM in forensic
gynaecology. This book is recommended for gynaecologists, sexual
health doctors and nurses, genitourinary medicine doctors and
nurses, emergency medicine doctors and nurses, midwives,
counsellors and psychologists who work with victims,
paediatricians, forensic doctors and nurses, specialist police
officers and lawyers, and those working in sexual assault referral
centres and independent sexual violence advisers."
